Even at the regular E-1 rate...they get paid well over $20K.
Yeah right. One field grade article 15 and a 2 year SPEC4 can find himself an E1 or E2 again real quick. There are a lot of guys that get busted everytime they make rank.

And just think, for that "well over $20k" all they have to do is work about 120 hours a week. Yep, what a deal.

Then again when i joined an E-1s pay was $701.00 a month and hazard pay was only another $100.00....and the PT was twice as hard.

These new troops are coddled.
